Visual Field Loss

Visual field loss refers to a reduction in the overall area that a person can see, affecting their peripheral (side) vision or central vision. It can occur due to various conditions, such as eye diseases, neurological disorders, or injury. Individuals with visual field loss might struggle to notice objects outside their direct line of sight, which can increase the risk of accidents and affect daily activities. Diagnosis typically involves tests by an eye care professional, and treatment depends on the underlying cause, potentially including medication, therapy, or rehabilitation strategies to adapt to these changes in vision.
